Climbing Technology Alpine Up

The Alpine Up is the most complete and versatile belay / rappel device ever produ-ced. It has been developed especially for mountaineering and it can be used with half, twin and single ropes. Extremely advantageous, it allows self-locking abseiling and it can be used in three different belay modes, depending on the terrain.

TECHNICAL FEATURESALPINE UP is the only device on the market that allows self-locking abseiling and two different belaying modes, depending on the terrain:

CLICK UP MODE (Hand assisted braking):Belaying a lead climber on multi-pitch sports climbing routes (well bolted)Self-locking abseiling using the folding handleAbsolute safety, even if the rope is incorrectly inserted

GUIDE MODE- BELAYING OF THE SECONDING:Independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbersPossibility of gradual releasing and lowering of a second climber under tension, by placing a biner in the proper holeIt is assembled with hot forged alluminium cheeks, steel breaking supports and plastic parts made of reinforced nylon.

ALPINE UP weighs only 175 g and it will be available in its proper packaging with our CONCEPT SGL HC HMS connector, with a hard-coated special anodization wear-proof.

The lightweight Black Diamond ATC Pilot represents an advance in technology for the world of assisted braking devices.Providing an added level of security to your belay, the ATC Pilot threads similarly to other tubular belay devices and accommodates ropes from 8.7-10.5mm.

Multiuse belay/abseil device with innovative and compact design (registered design), suitable for use with half twin and single ropes for mountaineering, multi-pitch sport climbing and trad routes.Intuitive and easy to use, the BE-UP has a modular braking system to optimise braking with all types of rope and allow the auto-locking and independent belaying...

Intuitive belay device with reliable blocking of the climbing rope. The first generation of the Smart belay device was successfully launched in 2009. Built on the experience the new Smart 2.0 offers significantly improved braking effectiveness as well as optimized geometry and intuitive handling. The newly developed brake insert blocks the rope in the...

Add-on for the Smart 2.0 belay device to prevent the consequences of beginner’s errors. The innovative add-on for the Smart 2.0 increases safety even in the event of misuse by the belayer. The Smarter is simply attached to the Smart 2.0 and, in the event of a fall, it triggers the blocking of the rope even if the brake rope is incorrectly held above the...

Designed for the experienced belayer, the GRIGRI is a belay device with assisted braking designed for belaying both in the gym and at the crag. Compact and lightweight, it can be used with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm. The assisted braking function improves comfort while belaying, holding a climber or catching a fall. The design of the handled camming...

This belay/rappel device is lightweight and easy to use.V-shaped friction channels, with asymmetrical side grooves, adapt the rope friction for better control (braking adapted to half, twin and single dynamic ropes).Reverso mode for belaying one or two seconds.

Multi-purpose belay plate can be used with single, double and twin ropes.Main applications for the Ovo are the following: leader belaying; double rope abseiling; self-arresting belaying of two seconds. Weight: 58 g

The assisted braking action of the Matik derives from an innovative camming design that makes the device safe and easy on the climber, the belayer, the anchor and the rope.The Matik is built so the cam rotates in and comes in line with the rope before it captures the rope completely. This alignment creates a much larger contact area between the cam and...

The new Chuy is a belay rappel device that works on half, twin and single ropes.Very light, it gives the chance to change the braking capacity thanks to the "V" shape notches so as to modulate the effort of the user according to its own weight, the rope used and all those factors that modify the friction and consequently the braking. It gives you a smooth...

The alpine version of the award-winning Smart can also be used with Double and half ropes as well with thin single ropes, making it the ideal companion for all alpine rock and ice pursuits. When it comes to belaying, the Smart Alpine offers the same excellent qualities as the Smart: dynamic braking of the climber in an accidental fall, and locks even at...
